RAISE READY

Find your tech gaps before your investors do

A 15-minute investor tech readiness check, built by senior CTOs and run by an AI agent. Get a ranked task list, plain-English answers, and prompts you can paste straight into Lovable or Cursor — without the consulting fees.

FORM

You’ve got an investor meeting on the calendar. You’ve been preparing the pitch. You know your numbers. You can talk about the customers, the market, the team.

But if an investor asks how secure your platform is, whether it scales, or what you’ll do when one of your vendors changes their pricing — you’d struggle to answer. And the one thing you don’t want to do in that meeting is freeze.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Perfect For Ambitious Founders

You’re a founder pre-raise

Investor meetings on the calendar, or imminent. You can defend the product, the market, the team. The tech is the one thing you’re not 100% sure you can defend. Raise Ready surfaces what they’ll ask before they ask it.

You’re a founder mid-build

Not raising yet, but want to avoid the situation where you find out about a critical tech gap during DD in twelve months. Treat this as your early-warning system.

You’re an advisor or mentor

You’re working with founders who need to get tech-ready but you’re not technical yourself. Recommend Raise Ready and give them a structured way to surface what they don’t know they don’t know.

TESTIMONIALS

Founders, in their own words

"Moved forward confidently with a prototype after one assessment"

$1M/mo · saved on infrastructure for an iGaming customer

£4M · raise supported for a digital health platform

24 months · delivery time cut on a regulated product build

As a non-technical founder building a tech innovation, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. Connecting with Novidian was a turning point.

They were incredibly approachable and helped me navigate crucial decisions — most notably whether I needed to hire a developer. Thanks to their guidance, I’ve been able to move forward confidently with a prototype while continuing to evaluate next steps.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What if I’m not actively raising yet?

Then this is the easy version. Take the Self-Check now while you have headroom, fix the gaps over a few weeks, and walk into your next investor conversation with a defensible answer rather than a panicked one. Most users come to Raise Ready three to six months ahead of a target raise — that’s the sweet spot.

I’ve got an investor meeting in two weeks. Is it too late?

No. The full check takes 15 minutes. The top three gaps will be obvious within the hour. Even if you can’t fix everything by the meeting, you can prepare honest answers about what you know, what you’re working on, and your timeline. Investors don’t expect perfection — they expect awareness.

How is this different from ChatGPT or a generic AI tool?

The agent is trained on real CTO playbooks, frameworks and patterns — built from 20+ years of advising UK tech founders through investor due diligence. It won’t flip-flop, won’t hallucinate “industry standards” that don’t exist, and gives you context-specific answers rather than generic guidance. And when you hit something complex, a real human CTO is one email away.

Will an investor see my answers?

Only if you choose to share them. Your data stays in your account. The agent produces shareable artefacts (architecture overview, security policy) which you can hand to an investor on your terms — but the raw assessment is yours.

Is my IP / data safe?

Yes. UK-hosted infrastructure, GDPR-compliant, sensitive inputs filtered with enterprise-grade security. Your data is never used to train external AI models. Data deletion available on request. Optional mutual NDA for paid customers.

I’ve got a developer / outsourced agency / co-founder who handles tech. Should I include them?

Yes. The agent expects honest answers about your current setup — if your developer or agency has those answers, loop them in. The Plus plan includes up to 5 seats so multiple people can contribute. We even encourage running the check with your developer in the room — it surfaces gaps neither of you was seeing.

What if Raise Ready surfaces a gap I can’t fix myself?

Two options. (1) Use the escalation email feature in Plus — a real senior CTO will give you a tailored answer within one business day. (2) Step up to one of our human services — Software Audit (£495), CTO On Demand (£295/hr), or fractional CTO from £1,200/mo. The Raise Ready agent is the front door; the rest of Novidian is what you graduate into if you need more.
